Problem deleting posts

[kavala]

I was having a problem with my connection and ended up
posted the same message three times. How do I get rid of those
unwanted ones ??
When I pass mouse over 'Edit', it shows Edit/Delete, but still couldn't
figure out how to delete.
Also, sometimes I'm halfway through posting a message, then I change
my mind, and I can't just cancel ???

Deleting messages is disabled. You'll have to get one of the Mods, or Kim Harri, or Gandalfe, to delete it for you. I think this is mentioned in the FAQs.

You *can* always use your browser's "back" button. ;)

Deleting messages is disabled.

Why doesn't someone just enable message deleting?

Message deleting allows a poster to delete a post potentially changing the meaning of the whole thread. You can still erase your text but the post and thread doesn't go away. This was a decision that was made at the inception of this forum.
